[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wasn't able to get a direct answer from the Celiac Disease Foundation website, but there is indication that a small amount ofcross-contamination each day is safe (and this is one reason why less than 20 ppm as the US labelling standard is safe for considering "gluten-free"):

[b]According to the Center’s website, “research from the Center has shown that 10 milligrams per day of gluten consumption is a safe level for the vast majority of individuals with celiac disease.” The Center’s website goes on to state that 10 milligrams is roughly the equivalent of one-eighth of a teaspoon of flour, or 18 slices of bread with each slice containing 20 ppm of gluten.[/b]

There is also indication that people with celiac disease have differing levels of sensitivity:

If this child is that sensitive and the diagnosis is recent and they have a newborn, the child is too sick to be visiting a remote cabin with other children. This child needs to stay near the hospital. Think of the guilt that OP will be subjected to if her kid puts a grain of food near this severely compromised child. It is just not the right setting.[/quote]
